Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

As they approached the sea, the bull demon shouted excitedly in the water.

"Gurgle~"

Suddenly, the bull demon noticed that a large number of bubbles were appearing in the surrounding water, and the flow was becoming somewhat abnormal.

At the same time, a whirlpool was rapidly forming on the surface of the river, and it soon covered the entire section of the river.

In the river, the pupi controlled by the bull demon was also drawn into the whirlpool and could not break free from its grasp.

The sea was already close at hand, but this obvious obstruction occurred. The hot-tempered Gyuki was furious and immediately controlled Brubi to enter the tailed beast form. With five tails, Brubi leaped out of the vortex and roared, "Damn it, who is behind this?"

The next moment, thick trees rapidly grew from both banks of the river and rushed towards it. On one of the trees stood a black-haired ninja wearing red armor.

"It's you!"

When the bull demon saw the black-haired ninja's face, his expression changed drastically, and he screamed in terror.

It could never forget this human ninja, the one who had captured it at sea and brought it to the Hidden Cloud Village.

Faced with this Wood Release ninjutsu, even someone as powerful as him would be nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter.

Hashirama Senju, a human being whom he feared from the bottom of his heart.

But wasn't this person already dead? Why is he here?

Although the Gyūki couldn't figure out why Hashirama Senju had come back to life, once it discovered that the person who attacked it was Hashirama Senju, it didn't hesitate to control Brubi to enter full tailed beast form, reappearing in its complete form, and then controlling eight giant octopus tails to smash all the attacking trees.

However, no matter how quickly it smashed the trees, the trees regenerated just as fast, overwhelming its resistance with an unreasonable violence and then tightly binding its massive body.

The moment the demon was entangled by these trees, its old nightmare resurfaced. Its chakra was rapidly absorbed by the trees, causing them to grow ever more lush and powerful, and increasing the binding force on it.

Of course, the Gyūki wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. Before its chakra was completely absorbed, it immediately unleashed its strongest technique: the Tailed Beast Ball.

A huge black chakra ball rapidly condensed in front of its mouth, then aimed at the human standing on a twisted old tree trunk, looking down at it.

Unfortunately, before Gyūki could successfully release the Tailed Beast Ball, Hashirama Senju clapped his hands together, and a giant tree-man emerged from the tree beneath him, then slapped away the Tailed Beast Ball that was not yet fully formed in front of the Eight-Tails' mouth.

"Bang!!!"

The Tailed Beast Ball that was swatted away landed not far away and exploded.

After the tree-man knocked away the Tailed Beast Ball, it grabbed the Eight-Tails by the neck with its large hand and then used its other hand to beat the Eight-Tails' head, not giving it another chance to use the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Damn it, you're not going to catch me."

The Eight-Tails was dizzy and disoriented from the beating, and roared in resentment.

The next moment, the Eight-Tails' enormous body disappeared, and it transformed back into the red-eyed Brupi.

After the Eight-Tails controlled Burubi's body to transform back into a human form, it controlled Burubi to rush into the nearby forest and run wildly inside.

However, its hope of escape was shattered. A high-pressure water jet suddenly appeared, like an extremely sharp blade, instantly severing the trees in its path and cutting off Brupi's legs as well.

Burubi, who had lost both legs, fell to the ground. When he looked up, a white-haired ninja wearing blue armor appeared in Ushioni's eyes.

"Tobirama Senju! Even he has come back to life."

The demon recognized the white-haired ninja as the Second Hokage of Konoha at a glance and said in despair.

This is the guy who was in charge of sealing it away.

Sure enough, when it saw the Second Hokage's unforgettable hand seal rapidly forming, it truly despaired.

This time, it's going to fall into the hands of these two people again.

Tobirama Senju's hand seals were incredibly fast; he quickly completed them and prepared to unleash a powerful sealing technique to seal Burubi.

However, before he could successfully complete the seal, a purple flash suddenly descended from the sky and pierced through Brubi's head.

Chapter 292: Madara Uchiha's Surprise Attack on Konoha

Brubi revealed that he had been pierced by the purple flash, and his life force immediately began to decline rapidly.

At the same time, the Eight-Tails inside Burubi also sensed impending doom.

Once the Jinchūriki dies, the Tailed Beast bound to him will also inevitably die.

Although it can be reborn and resurrected, will it still be the same thing after it is resurrected?

The demon cried out in despair, "No! No! No!"

As soon as the sound passed, Brubi's life flame was completely extinguished, and the chakra fluctuations of the Eight-Tails within his body also disappeared.

At the same time, in the sky, Kirito Tohsaka, who was flying in the air using chakra wings, had a cold voice in his mind:

[You changed Brubi's fate, gaining 1 enhancement point]

"It's still just one. This Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Frubi, is like the Third Kazekage and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Han. He appeared too late, had little screen time, and had very little impact on the plot."

Kirito sighed inwardly upon hearing the voice from the system.

With the addition of the enhancement points he obtained from Brubi, he now has four enhancement points, and it's time to find a skill to enhance.

However, before that, he still needs to deal with the following troubles.

The next moment, his chakra wings flapped, and he moved quickly through the air, successfully avoiding the barrage of water needles from below.

This is Water Release: Heaven's Cry from Tobirama Senju.

After Tobirama Senju launched his attack, Hashirama Senju was not to be outdone. The tree-like creature beneath him quickly raised its hands, and its two enormous wooden fingers instantly transformed into ten-barreled machine guns, shooting out a large number of sharp wooden spikes from its ten fingers.

Faced with such a dense attack of wooden spikes, Kirito had no choice but to rapidly flap his chakra wings to ascend into the air while simultaneously clapping his hands together, causing a massive fireball to erupt from his mouth.

Sage Art: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

The Great Fireball Technique, unleashed with Fire Release: Sage Mode chakra, is incredibly powerful. The heat it emits makes it feel like a real sun, turning all the wooden spikes to ashes before they even get close.

The giant fireball fell rapidly, and the giant wooden figure had no time to dodge. It was hit head-on and instantly turned into a giant fireball.

Not only that, but a deafening explosion of flames followed.

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju reacted quickly. Hashirama immediately appeared in front of Tobirama Senju with a Body Flicker Technique, while Tobirama Senju quickly released his hand seals and used Water Release: Water Barrier.

In an instant, a giant wave blocked the two of them, preventing the incoming fire explosion from entering.

Soon, the fire and explosion disappeared, and Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were unharmed. A huge crater covered with lava appeared on the ground.

Kirito's figure had already disappeared from the sky.

Then, two figures appeared behind Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju; they were Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu.

Both of them looked as if they had been forced to eat a dead rat; their faces were frighteningly dark.

"Tohsaka Kirito, I will make sure you die a horrible death."

Madara Uchiha said through gritted teeth.

With the help of the two Edo Tensei puppets, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, capturing the Eight-Tails was a sure thing. However, at the last moment, Kirito Tohsaka ruined everything. With Brubi's death, the Eight-Tails also died.

Moreover, Brubi's corpse was burned to ashes by the fire ninjutsu that Kirito Tohsaka had just used.

That means his Eye of the Moon project will have to wait at least three years before it can be restarted.

"Lord Madara, what should we do next? Should we continue our journey to Konoha?"

Hei Jue asked vaguely.

Because Madara Uchiha sought to play it safe, they did not make any rash moves after arriving at the Forest of Death. As a result, they discovered that the Forest of Death contained a large number of deadly sealing technique traps, and that there were also a large number of Konoha ninja patrolling inside, many of whom were Byakugan ninja.

They would be discovered immediately if they rashly ventured into the Death Forest.

Finally, the location of Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki they were most looking for, could not be confirmed.

This made Madara Uchiha hesitant to act rashly, fearing there might be a trap, and he dared not make any rash moves, thus wasting a lot of time.

During this period, a series of bad news came from the battlefield in the Land of Rain.

First, Kirito Tohsaka somehow managed to travel from the easternmost part of the Land of Rain to the westernmost part in a short period of time to aid Hattori Masashige. This resulted in Hattori Masashige taking the Four-Tails, killing the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Han, and causing Iwagakure to suffer a crushing defeat and flee.

Next, the Third Raikage was captured by Kirito Tohsaka and used as bait to cause the morale of the Cloud Village to collapse. The Cloud Village suffered a crushing defeat and fled, and in the end, they even lost the Eight-Tails.

Fortunately, the Eight-Tails captured by Konoha was a fake; the real Eight-Tails escaped and was discovered by them.

Then came the incident of capturing the Eight-Tails.

Unfortunately, the result was still not good.

"Hmph, what's the use of going there now? That little bastard has probably already gone back to Konoha."

Madara Uchiha said angrily.

Black Zetsu quickly lowered his head and stopped talking, not giving Madara Uchiha a chance to continue venting his anger on him.

After a while, as the sounds of Madara Uchiha grinding his teeth and exhaling gradually subsided, Black Zetsu reorganized his thoughts and spoke again: "Lord Madara, has Kirito Tohsaka learned the Flying Thunder God Technique? Otherwise, how could he have traveled from the easternmost to the westernmost part of the Land of Rain in one go?"

After saying that, it turned its head to look at Tobirama Senju, who was not far away.

"That's possible. I was careless and overlooked the Flying Thunder God Technique, a space-time ninjutsu. If that kid learns this ninjutsu, then we'll be in real trouble."

Madara Uchiha also thought of this at this moment, and said with mixed feelings.

However, deep down he still didn't believe that Kirito Tohsaka could learn this ninjutsu, because even he hadn't mastered it.

This ninjutsu requires an extremely high level of spatial and temporal talent from the ninja. Apart from Tobirama Senju, the creator of this technique, only one other person, Minato Namikaze, has mastered it in the past few decades.

He acknowledged that Kirito was very talented, but people with outstanding time-space talent were one in ten thousand, and he didn't think Kirito was that outstanding in time-space talent.

"In the end, it was arrogance that caused the trouble. This guy is, after all, a member of the Uchiha clan, and personally, the reincarnation of Indra. No matter how depraved he becomes, he can't change the arrogance in his bones. He always thinks that if he can't do something, no one else can either."

Black Zetsu inwardly grumbled upon Madara Uchiha's belated reply.

In its view, ever since Madara Uchiha seized the modified Impure World Reincarnation technique from Danzo and then obtained the power of Sage Mode from Hashirama Senju, he began to float again.

However arrogant Madara Uchiha may be, it now has to coax him into doing things and help him solve his problems.

It said, "Lord Madara, let's hurry up and get the Rinnegan back. That Kirito Tohsaka is no ordinary person. If the Rinnegan remains in his hands, he might use it to develop some bad things."

I don't think Kirito Tohsaka actually learned the Flying Thunder God Technique. He's more likely researching it and developing a new space-time ninjutsu.

"Lord Madara, this kid's talent for developing ninjutsu might be no less than Tobirama Senju's. We must pay even more attention to him."

As a member of the noble Otsutsuki clan, although it looked down on the native humans of this world deep down, it had to admit that human creativity was incredibly impressive.

Ever since chakra was taught to humanity by that bastard Hamura Otsutsuki, the development of ninjutsu has been rapid, and the trendsetters of each era have pushed ninjutsu to further development.

Even today, ninjutsu has been developed to a very high level by humankind, and some forbidden ninjutsu even frighten it.
